If you want to save yourself a bit of scrubbing, after soaking in the degreaser to get the paint loose, give it a few rounds in an ultrasonic cleaner. That will loosen and remove the paint, even in the panel lines.

Bill what do you soak the model in while in the Ultrasonic cleaner? Is it just water. I have never used one of these and no little about them.

I just used water, and it worked really well. This was after letting the body soak in the degreaser for a day. I did use the heat function that the HF version I posted the link to has, it seemed to help as well. Just be careful with how hot you let it get. I was using with a resin JF body, and it got a bit "wobbley" after a few cycles. I will admit to having used degreaser in the ultrasonic cleaner with decent results, but I do not suggest it, as it can be corrosive to the electronics. It won't hurt the tub, as it is stainless steel.
